I had planned on sending it to my biological mother as this is my first hand spun yarn on a spindle along with my first wheel spun yarn. I felt that she had missed out on on quite a few of my "firsts" after we kids went into the foster care system that I wanted to give her one or two of them back. I remember her being a gifted crochet/knitting artist and am looking forward to seeing what she will make from them both.

I was gifted with a ball winder for Christmas one year and to fit the toilet paper rolls onto it I have to make a "spacer" ring using a velcro version of a cord minder. I wrap it around the winder's spool and then fit the toilet paper roll over it and carefully wind my yarn onto it for plying later.
